Carey Bell's Blues Harp is the debut album by the American blues musician Carey Bell, recorded in Chicago in 1969, that was released by the Delmark label.

Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings Allmusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated "It's a mite ragged around the edges, but Bell's 1969 debut session certainly sports the proper ambience -- and no wonder, with guitarists Eddie Taylor and Jimmy Dawkins and pianist Pinetop Perkins on hand to help out. No less than four Little Walter covers and two more from Muddy Waters' songbook dot the set, but many of the best moments occur on the original numbers". The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings said "Neither band does more than run through the changes with indifferent precision ... Bell is an intermittently effective vocalist but his harmonica playing lacks adventure and inspiration".
